NHL insider Chris Johnston shared his thoughts on Mitch Marner's future with the Toronto Maple Leafs on the "First Up 1050" podcast on Jan. 7, 2025. Marner, in the final year of his contract, has been playing well this season.
He has 14 goals and 42 assists in 41 games. Marner ranks second in the NHL for assists and fourth for points.
Johnston said talks are ongoing between Marner’s agents and the Leafs, but no official offers have been made. He added that Marner might look at free agency next summer.
"My understanding is there's ongoing dialogue between the agents for those players and the Leafs. I don't think they’re exchanging official offers at this point. I don’t think they're at that level yet, but I think it’s a process playing out.
